The activities of this organization have also been linked to the death of a police officer late last year.<\/p>\n<p>The officer, 31-year-old Giorgos Lyngeridis, succumbed to his injuries in a hospital 20 days after being struck by a flare during an attack on riot police outside a volleyball stadium in Rentis, near Piraeus, on December 7, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Charges have reportedly been filed against Olympiakos President Evangelos Marinakis and vice presidents Yiannis Moralis (who is also the mayor of Piraeus), Kostas Karapapas, Dimitris Agrafiotis, and Michalis Kountouris.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, the charges are misdemeanors and relate to supporting and financing a criminal organization, as well as inciting sports-related violence. The five defendants have been summoned to appear before the examining magistrate handling the case next Tuesday but are entitled to request a postponement to prepare their defense.<\/p>\n<p>The charges were filed following an order from the magistrate overseeing the case, which has already led to the pre-trial detention of dozens of defendants, including prominent members of Gate 7, Olympiakos\u2019 largest fan club, in April.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n        var NXFBPixelFunc = function () {\n            document.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n            setTimeout(function () {\n                !function (f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                    if (f.fbq) return;\n                    n = f.fbq = function () {\n                        n.callMethod ?\n                            n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments)\n                    };\n                    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n                    n.push = n;\n                    n.loaded = !0;\n                    n.version = '2.0';\n                    n.queue = [];\n                    t = b.createElement(e);\n                    t.async = !0;\n                    t.src = v;\n                    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n                    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s)\n                }(window, document, 'script',\n                    'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n                fbq('init', '109138906120213');\n                fbq('track', 'PageView');\n            }, 0)\n        };\n        document.addEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekathimerini.com\/news\/1253929\/criminal-charges-filed-against-olympiakos-executives-in-soccer-crime-case\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judicial authorities have reportedly filed criminal charges against the president and four senior officials of Olympiakos soccer club in connection with a major case involving 167 defendants accused of being part of a criminal organization in Greek soccer.
